      if someone has 10x better eyesight, does that mean they would go blind from all the light? No. It just means they can make out more detail, further away and with more clarity. The same goes for smell. They can smell more, distinguish between them from further away. Doesn't always mean the smells they experience are stronger or more potent

      1) That statement is completely arguable; what isn't is that plant mono-crops are damaging to the environment. They require 'high input' of resources and damage the soil, water supply and native environment. Soil need large herbivores for the ecosystem to work, and they are necessarily removed to protect monocrops. If what you are farming is the animals directly from a pasture, this isn't a problem and the animals can participate in the ecosystem restoration.
      2) There is no letting animals suffer in modern agriculture, distressed animals have low feed efficiency so it's an economically poor decision, and agriculture is all about economics.
      3) That is just a matter of the size of animal you are eating, not how often or much you eat. Wolves have a higher Mcal requirement per day /lb body weight than humans to reproduce.
      And, in case it wasn't clear to you, humans slaughter animals in a relatively thoughtful way, nearly instant death. Wolves eat bison alive...

As I understand, an extremely large portion of the crops we grow go to feeding livestock that we then kill and eat. Why not just eat the crops? The only two things I can think of that most plants can't provide that meat can is protein and vitamin B12, which can both be gained from dairy products.

    • @hamzamian6048
      @hamzamian6048 Рік тому +5

      These aren't wild wolves. They are in a preserve. The make up of their pack is strangers that have been rescued and assimilated into the pack. In the wild a wolf pack is all family and the pack leader is the father. When the pups get old enough they leave to form their own packs. There is no competition between the wolves in the pack. In this artificial pack setting the wolves are more aggressive towards each other because they are not family. In the wild, wolves are territorial but don't attack humans for food and don't behave the way these wolves behave with each other. Anything these wolves do is not typical to normal wild wolf behavior. These wolves have had human interaction for most of their lives because a lot of them were rescued as orphan pups and taken care of by humans before being introduced to the pack in the preserve. Also it seems the lady is the resident specialist probably in charge of monitoring the wolves in the preserve so the rapport is already established between the wolves and the lady. That is probably why the wolves are more comfortable with her.

      They don't just attack any pray... Many studies have shown that the wolves will circle around the herds for hours to find the weakest, oldest, sick ones… They will even break them and make them run...
      That's why natural predators are so much better than human hunters to keep a herd healthy, leaving only the wisest, healthiest ones to breed therefore, passing on their good genes… They take down the weakest that shouldn't reproduce which human hunters are unable to do and won't do since too often they will take the biggest ones for trophy…
      Wolves or any natural predators don't care how big or beautiful a bison, an elk, a moose or deer looks like… They go for the easiest prays…

    It might be a savage hunter capable of taking down massive prey, but when they see the hooman, the tail still wag.

    Allow me to tell you a story.
    My neighbour, in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada....
    His SON, Kenton Joel Carnegie was a 22-year-old Canadian geological engineering student from Ontario on a work term from the University of Waterloo.
    Mr. Carnegie died in a wild animal attack while he was walking near Points North Landing in Saskatchewan, Canada.
    Waste dumping attracted black bears and timber wolves to the region.
    According to a trucker who said he met Carnegie in the cafeteria a few days before his death, he had passed around close-range photographs of large wolf pups that had approached him during walks in nearby woods, and he had been warned by the trucker that such encounters were extremely dangerous.
    A bush pilot said he warned Carnegie about an incident in which adult wolves had menaced others walking outside the camp.
    After reviewing evidence, which included wolf tracks left around the body, the finding of a coroner's inquest was that Carnegie had been killed by wolves.
    This was the death of a human, one of the first verified cases of a fatal wild wolf attack in North America.
    Personally I think wolves are absolutely magnificent creatures, but let's not forget, they are wild animals.
    To interact with them, as humans, is not something to be done without extreme risk.
    Let's not forget this. Us humans are NOT wolves. We think we understand them, but do we?

      @montanadoctor What you just said simply doesn't make any sense!...
      How is it bad that wolf packs kill so many prays if other predators benefit from their kill!... And I can assure that it is not just bears and coyotes that feast on the remainings… Add bobcats, lynx, foxes, crows, ravens and so many more!...
      It's called NATURE!...
      Unless, it bothers YOU because as a member of the human race, you consider those deer and elk belong to you to shoot?!...
      And how can you be so sure that some of these kills weren't made by packs of dogs?!…
      I just checked the last recent survey… In 2016 wolf population = 851... Personally I don't call that "far too many" compared to human population (estimated 2019 population = 1.07 million) spread over 147 040 mi²...
      Seems to me that it is the humans that are over populating Montana!... ;o)
